I have eaten American Black Nightshade berries before. They taste like tiny tomatoes mixed with blueberries. I haven't had a full smoothie of them before though
I have actually done that… well, I had a medical problem with swallowing and I was making shakes of all kinds of savory foods. Sorta like smooth soups… chicken and broth, roast beef with rice and potatoes, beans with salsa and cilantro… pretty good actually. I kinda miss the chicken milk.
Because some people dont have the mindset of yhe biological(the scientific mindset) and culinary(the common mindset) seperate.
Tomato is common for it because its a fruit biologically and a vegetable culinarily.
Other examples of it in common practice is “berries”. Culinarily, strawberries and raspberries are berries, and bananas arent. Biologically its the opposite.
The only book my mother wrote for (with several other colleagues), had her credited with her initials and her married surname (my father’s), from whom she divorced later. Happy times! :D
Yes. I felt pretty sorry for her when she showed me the book. This was one of the reasons I urged my (now ex) wife not to take my surname when we married.
The original issue stems from an agricultural conmerce point, however, as the definitions dictated vastly different tariff rates, etc. In short, vegetables were often staples, and fruits were seen as luxuries. Therefore, when tomatoes first began arriving from the East, the savvy trader would call them vegetables in order to lessen their own cost to transport them, but claim they were fruit when wholesaling inland, IIRC.
Tomato toxic when it green, but delicious when it red. Creeping nightshade toxic when it green, but has anyone even tried it when it red? Probably delicious.
Potatoes fall into this category too of both delicious and nightshade fun. So tastes great like anti freeze but it takes a lot longer to finally get you.
From just some cursory googling it looks like they are toxic when raw, but frying them neutralizes the toxicity. That’s probably why you’ve never noticed!
Ok so now let’s assume a god like sentient creature formed our universe. Maybe they even intentionally created us.
We have no indication that they even once interacted with us in over 2000 or rather several million years.
Let’s go further and assume the god like creature is indeed the Christian God.
We have an immortal, allknowing and allmighty God who doesn’t care about innocent dying, suffering and other cruelties. So if the Christian God exists he is an asshole!
